From top to bottom in most groups of elements atomic radii tend to

1 answer:

3 0

As you go down a group on the periodic table, atomic radii tend to increase because elements with larger atomic numbers have more occupied electron levels which take up more space surrounding the nucleus.

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction 5: 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

It is a decomposition reaction.

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.

In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
So, it is a decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

It is a single replacement reaction.

A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.

In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

Reaction 7: N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

Reaction 8: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O.
